Chapter 11

Mez woke suddenly. She’d had the dream again. The world was dark and dying, but this time, as she turned toward the figure with the hands raised, eyes white as the brightest light, it hadn’t been Mez.

This time, it was Kresley.

She took a few calming breaths as she shook the dream from her mind. It had felt so real, and yet, she knew it had only been a dream. She was clearly in bed, in a tiny, cell-like room, and disoriented.

As the nightmare faded, she stretched the sleep from her muscles. Mid-stretch, though, she paused at the feel of another body next to hers—practically wrapped around hers. A muscular arm was draped over her torso. The hand attached was loosely cupping the lower part of her breast, causing all sorts of wild sensations to shoot off through her midsection like fireworks in the night. Against her back, she felt the hard shell of Lucian’s body shaping them both into the same rounded form. And last night came back to her.

Why was she still here? Had Kresley just left her there all night?

He shifted, his hand tightening around her feminine flesh, squeezing enough to get her heartbeat pumping and her breathing to shallow. He stretched with a groan and then froze with the same realization she’d just come to.

He slipped his hand away and put a little space between them, but not before she felt the evidence of his arousal against her backside.

With as light of movements as he could manage, he pulled his arm from beneath her head, but she rolled with the motion and ended on her back as he rose to lean on his elbow.

“Sorry about that. My hands tend to wander when I’m asleep. It wasn’t intentional.”

“Um...of course. You were out of it. I’m the one invading your bed.”

His eyebrows dipped closely together as he asked, “Yeah, why is that? I mean, I am surprised you are still here.”

“That makes two of us.”

Her heartbeat still hadn’t quite recovered, and now, having him staring down at her, she found her breathing becoming even more erratic. Maybe it was the feeling of being enclosed in the tiny room that was making her so nervous, but her stomach wouldn’t stop turning somersaults.

“Seeing as I apparently can’t rely on Kresley, did you happen to find any possible ways out?”

“There are a few promising spots, believe it or not, but I haven’t found an actual exit yet.”

His gaze dropped to her lips just as she parted them, and she got the strange idea that he wanted to kiss her. Instead, he laid his head down on his propped arm, and she turned over to face him. They were mere inches away from each other, and though the nerves were still there, Mez didn’t feel like she wanted to run. Not yet.

“So, what do we do now?”

“I know what I’d like to do.”

“Oh...what’s that?”

“I’d like to revisit your first stay in here.”

She wondered if he could hear the pounding of her heart tapping out a fast staccato.
